champ

Serve this with stews, when you fancy a change from plain mashed potato

Celeriac & potato mash

1.3kg floury potatoes

celeriac

salted butter

onions

double cream

nutmeg

Boil the potatoes for 20-25 mins until tender, adding the celeriac after 5 mins. Drain and press through a potato ricer back into the pan once the surface water has evaporated, or mash well with a potato masher in the dry pan.

While the potatoes cook, melt the 140g butter over a medium heat, then sweat the spring onions for about 5 mins until soft and silky, stirring occasionally. Add the cream and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer, then cook for another few mins until this thickens a little.

Stir two-thirds of the creamy onions into the potato and celeriac purée. Season to taste. If making in advance, cover the surface of the mash and the sauce with cling film, then set aside. Can now be frozen or made up to a day ahead. Just before serving, gently reheat the mash and reserved sauce. Spoon the mash into a serving bowl, pour the sauce on top and turn it over a few times to loosely mix. Make a well in the centre and drop in the remaining knob of butter.

Champ is a tasty traditional Irish side dish of mashed potato with scallions, similar to Colcannon. This authentic family recipe will show you exactly how to make it.

Irish Champ Potatoes

butter (plus extra to serve)

milk

scallions / spring onions (chopped)

salt and pepper

Boil the potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover, for 15 minutes or until tender.

Add the butter, milk and scallions/spring onions to a small pot and heat, but don’t boil.

Drain the cooked potatoes, then mash.

Stir in the scallion milk and season with salt and pepper.

Serve the champ warm, with an extra pat of butter melting into a well in the top.

Good with bacon or thick slices of ham and, although not traditional, splendid with fish

spring onion

150 milliliters/¼ pint full-fat milk

mashing potato

extra butter

Put the spring onions and milk in a small pan and heat to boiling. Take off the heat and leave to infuse.

Boil whole potatoes in their skins for 30-40 mins, or until tender (timing depends on their size). Drain and peel off the skins. Put the potatoes back in the pan, cover and gently heat for a min or two.

Remove from the heat and mash the potatoes with the butter until no lumps are left. Reheat the milk and the spring onions, then gradually beat this into the potatoes, mixing well with a wooden spoon to make the potatoes fluffy. Season well.

Serve on individual plates with a hollow in the centre of each serving in which you can put a big knob of butter. Diners then dip each forkful into the pool of melted butter before eating.
